Agrapart & Fils

About

Agrapart & Fils is a benchmark grower producer based in Avize, at the very heart of the Côte des Blancs, farming 12 hectares of predominantly Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyards with an average vine age exceeding 45 years. Founded in 1894 and now led by Pascal Agrapart and his son Ambroise, the domaine has practised organic viticulture for decades without seeking certification. Fermentation takes place in large old demi-muids, dosage is kept extremely low, and the wines are never filtered. Agrapart is also credited with pioneering the use of unfermented grape juice as the prise de mousse — a technique now widely emulated across Champagne.
